White Chocolate Ice Cream: Cream

Cream is a dairy product made from the high-fat layer that is skimmed from the top of milk before homogenization. It is typically separated from whole milk through a process called centrifugation. Cream contains a higher concentration of milk fat than milk.

Manufacturers add cream to foods to provide a rich, smooth texture and a distinctive dairy flavor. It is a common ingredient in ice cream, sauces, soups, and various baked goods. Cream also contributes to the mouthfeel and richness of many dessert items.

Cream is a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for its intended use. It is a source of dietary fat and calories. As a basic food ingredient, cream is not typically subject to the same additive evaluations by bodies like JECFA or EFSA.
